NO COMPLAINING=PERSEVERING IN FAITH=

( My BROTHERS AND SISTERS)

 

In the EPISTLE=of Saint James today=He tells us

NOT TO COMPLAIN=Can you IMAGINE that?=That is

SOMETHING we all want to do=and something=That some

People=that is=ALL THAT they do=especially if you are

ON=the social medias

“Instead we call blessed=those who HAVE PERSEVERED”                                             James 5:11

 

We all are CHALLENGED=at one time=or another=IN

This life=We need to QUIT THE COMPLAINING=we need to

FEEL THE BLESSINGS=That God send us all=quit the

Complaining=PERSEVERE IN FAITH=my dear brothers and sisters

Our Holy father God=and our Jesus=CHOSE the apostles=and

The saints=and ALL of us=TO CONTINUE the work

In today’s world=NO COMPLAINING=PERSEVERING IN FAITH!

 

“Watch your life and doctrine closely=PERSEVERE in them

Because if you do=You will save both yourself=and

Your hearers”                                                                                                                                     1 Timothy 4:16

 

“You=NEED TO PERSEVERE=so that when you=have done

The will of God=You will receive=what he has promised”                                                     Hebrews 10:36

 

So my dear brothers and sisters=NO COMPLAINING=God

Having stood the test=That person will receive=the crown

Of life=that the Lord has promised=to those=who love him”                                                James 1:12

 

We do live today=IN THE ME GENERATION=we want to be

KIND to ourselves=and put our own needs first=But

Wants us to LIVE=WITHOUT COMPLAINING=NO COMPLAINING

PERSEVERING IN FAITH=my dear brothers and sisters=I echo

Has spun you around

And you have nothing else left

Please know this

In every circumstance

Please know this

When you are down

To your last dime

When you are feeling empty inside

Love prevails

In every season

Love prevails

When there is no logical reason

Please know this

Love prevails

Ps       “Many are the woes of the wicked

            But the Lord’s UNFAILING LOVE

            Surrounds the man who trusts in him”                          Psalm 32:10

 

           “LOVE NEVER FAILS

            But where there are prophecies

            They will cease

 

            Where there are tongues

             They will be stilled

 

            Where there is knowledge

             It will pass away

 

             For we know in part

             And we prophesy in part

 

             But when PERFECTION comes

             The imperfect disappears”                                1 Corinthians 13:8

EVERY CHLD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAY 23^rd, 2012

 

 

EVERY CHILD

 

 

Every child should have a chance

Every child should have life

Every child should have hope

 

And how can they hope

When there is no food

On the table

And how can they hope

When we persist in labeling

All the time

They are being used

 

And how can they hope

With no one to believe in

How can they hope

When all they know is sin

 

Let’s give every child

Something ( and someone ) to believe in

And let’s begin

By letting every child

KNOW

That we believe in them

Ps        “But if anyone-causes one of these little ones

             Who believe in me to sin

             It would be better for him

             To have a large millstone hung around his neck

             And to be drowned in the depths of the sea”                   Matthew 18:6

Ps        “So speak and act

             As those who are going to be judged

             By the law who gives freedom

              MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGMENT”               James 2:12-13

 

             “BLESSED are the merciful

              For they will be SHOWN MERCY”                          Matthew 5:7

BEARING THE SUFFERING=THE IMPOSSIBLE CAN STILL HAPPEN

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEARING THE SUFFERING=

(THE IMPOSSIBLE=Can still Happen)

 

We KNOW=from Jesus’ life=death=and RESURRECTION

That he BEARED all the suffering=The world could

THROW AT HIM=and he OVERCAME sin and death

BEARING THE SUFFERING=THE IMPOSSIBLE can

Still happen=as he ROSE from the dead=from

ALL THE SUFFERING!

“BLESSED are=the POOR IN SPIRIT”                                                                                      Matthew 5:3

 

ANOTHER PERSON=who bore the SUFFERING was=

Saint Rita of Cascia=THE SAINT OF THE IMPOSSIBLE=along

With Saint Jude=Saint Rita=LIVED from 1377=to 1447=and

SHE PRAYED=to suffer like Jesus=and she did=She was given

A WOUND=on her forehead=She was given=”THE GIFT OF

A THORN”=for over ten years until her death=She suffered

A VISIBLE WOUND==BEARING THE SUFFERING=but

DOING the impossible

 

“Now if we=are children=then we are heirs=-----Heirs of God

And co-heirs with Christ=if indeed=we SHARE in his SUFFERINGS=

In order=that we=May also share in his glory”                                                                           Romans 8:17

Of the Resurrection=and participation in his SUFFERINGS=

Becoming like him=in his death”                                                                                                           Philippians 3:10

 

Saint RITA of Cascia=KNEW SUFFERING=in her life=and

IN her death=SHE BORE THE SUFFERING=but she is=The Saint

OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

 

Her husband was a CRUEL=and abusive man=from an

ARRANGED MARRIAGE=He was murdered=in a local feud=and

Her TWO SONS=died from diseases=Yet she LIVED with patience

And faith=BEARING THE SUFFERINGS!

 

“He was despised=and rejected=by mankind=A MAN OF SUFFERING

And familiar with pain”                                                                                                                           Isaiah 53:3

 

“The apostles=left the Sanhedrin=Rejoicing because=They

Had been counted=WORTHY OF SUFFERING DISGRACE

For the NAME”                                                                                                                                                    Acts 5:41

 

“Rather join with me=IN SUFFERING=for the gospel=by

The power of God”                                                                                                                                   2 Timothy 1:8

 

Saint Rita=EXPERIENCED=the stigmata of Christ=and

She suffered=THE TRAGEDIES OF LIFE=and so my FRIENDS

 

IF=you are ENDURING SUFFERING=in this world=BEAR it

With Patience=bear it with FAITH=BEARING OUR SUFFERINGS

With Jesus=and Saint Rita=for NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE=for our Lord

Who can DO ALL THINGS=if we BELIEVE
